Is another TomKitten on the way? TMZ is reporting that a source close to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes made a trip to the popular Hollywood baby shop Petit Tresor last week to look at "scenarios" for a boy's nursery. "We want to be prepared for a baby boy," the Cruise/Holmes confidante was overheard saying. Employees at the shop were reportedly given a deadline of April 15 to come up with the possible designs.
More TomKat weirdness... Katie Holmes will start work on the film Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah, set to begin shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the next month or so - and Tom Cruise wants in on the action. "Tom has called producers and told them he will be on set every day," says an insider. "He wants to observe what's going on and will probably help Katie out." When asked to confirm the story, a producer for the film said, "I don't know if that's the case, so I can't confirm. We are happy to have both Katie and Tom on set." Holmes passed up on reprising her role in the sequel to Batman Begins for the Queen Latifah buddy flick, and some Hollywood insiders speculate that it was because Cruise had problems with the romantic scenes she would have had with Christian Bale.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have reportedly been accepted as possible tenants at NYC's infamous Dakota Building. The couple had to pass strict entry interviews for admittance to the address made famous as the scene of John's Lennon's murder in 1980. Along with Lennon and Yoko Ono, the building's former tenants include Gene Simmons, Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, Judy Garland and Bono.

Looks like Yoko Ono may be getting some new neighbors. Tom Cruise is reportedly in talks to buy an apartment in NYC's famed Dakota building. Cruise is reportedly ready to plunk down close to $20 million for a pad in the address made famous by John Lennon. The move would be a bit of life imitating art - Cruise's character in Vanilla Sky was supposed to have lived at the Central Park West building.
Tom Cruise definitely wears the pants in his relationship with Katie Holmes, if the couple's behavior at last night's Vanity Fair party is an indication. As the pair arrived at the fete, Cruise tried to force Holmes to pose solo for pictures, telling photographers, "Take a shot of her." According to a witness, his bride refused (though this doesn't make sense to me since there are plenty of pictures floating around of Holmes on her own last night). Cruise reportedly stopped to greet a few photographers but didn't introduce Holmes, who stood quietly beside him waiting for him to finish his conversations. The pair then made their way into the party with Cruise pulling Holmes around by the hand while he mingled and she stayed mum. "She looks at him for direction," said an onlooker.

Jim Carrey took a bit of a dig at pal Tom Cruise during an interview recently. While talking about his career, the rubber-faced actor said, "I don't want to pick scripts just to keep me in the status-phere. You have to take the plunge to expose your true self... Everyone gets to be the big joke for a year. That's this business. Last year it was Tom Cruise. I could be the next Kathie Lee Gifford."
Leonardo Dicaprio will produce and star in a film about the rise and fall of Enron. Based on the book Conspiracy of Fools, the flick will follow a new employee at Enron who exposes the corruption and greed that pre-empted the energy co.'s demise into bankruptcy... Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller will play fiction's famed Hardy boy detectives in The Hardy Men, which will see the brothers reunite to solve a final case... Jennifer Lopez will reportedly guest star on an episode of Entourage next season. Talks are in the works for the singer to play herself in the HBO hit.
More scoop from Katie Holmes's first post-marriage interview with Harper's Bazaar... The actress says she fell in love with Tom Cruise the first time she met him, when the two met to discuss a film project. "In Los Angeles, my first motorcycle ride...to the beach. It was amazing and fast," Holmes told the mag. "I was in love from the moment I shook his hand for the first time." The actress is humble and grateful about her glamorous life, explaining, "I have a husband and children that I adore. I have a career that I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's - wow! I am very grateful." Below are a couple of previews from Holmes's photo spread.
Katie Holmes's first interview since becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise will hit the newsstands on February 20. In the Harper's Bazaar article, Holmes gushes about her new husband, saying, "Tom makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and has since the day I met him. I love being with him. I love calling him 'husband.'... I have a whole new set of responsibilities. My work is very important to me. My family is very important to me. When I go to work, it will be the right thing, worth my time and worth my time away from my family." Of the possibility of working with Cruise, Holmes says, "He's the biggest movie star ever, and he's an unbelievable actor. It would just be a real honor." The actress admits to craving cupcakes during her much-photographed pregnancy with daughter Suri, but says the whole experience was easygoing. "I felt so proud to be having a baby and so excited and I felt closer to other women - to my sisters, to my mom," Holmes says. "I felt empowered, like, 'I've given birth. I did it. There's nothing I can't handle.'" Of motherhood, she adds, "I've really enjoyed this time that I have taken to be with Suri as well as the challenges of the first couple of months - feeding and pumping, learning to decipher what each cry means. Is she hungry? Is she tired? Does she need a fresh diaper? And figuring out how to really help her." The actress's spread in Harper's Bazaar was styled by Victoria Beckham, and the pair "were like girlfriends" on the set, according to the mag's special projects director. After being introduced a year and a half ago by their husbands, the unlikely duo bonded over being young mothers and sharing life in the spotlight being married to superstars.
Crash actress Thandie Newton is hoping to change the world - one celebrity at a time. Newton wrote letters to a host of A-listers, including Madonna, Jack Nicholson, David Beckham, Tom Cruise and Chris Martin in the hopes of convincing them to trade in their SUVs for hybrids. "I didn't get one letter back," the actress says. "I wasn't judgmental. It was like, 'In case you didn't know here are some facts about the environment and reasons why it turns out 4x4s aren't that great to have in the city.'" The actress has also set her sights on persuading Oprah to go green. "I was staying with Oprah recently and I suggested that she switches her whole fleet of cars," Newton said. "I really hope she does. It would do so much good."
Tom Cruise shouldn't expect Victoria Beckham to convert to Scientology anytime soon. "There's no way I'd spend my money on that nonsense," the Spice Girl alum recently told a friend. "It's completely laughable that there's even talk of her becoming a Scientologist," said a friend. "Just because people are friends with someone doesn't mean they do everything they do. Scientology is like kabbalah in that it's become all about money. Kabbalah bracelets are now $28! It's a joke... Scientology is an expensive religion - Victoria is too cheap to convert."
